CAMP: Countering Abuse Misinformation Project
Catherine Becker of California drugged her husband, lashed him to a bed, severed his penis, and threw it into a garbage disposal. Sharon Osbourne of ABC’s The Talk described the incident as “hysterical” and “fabulous.” TV personality Wendy Williams remarked, “When you cross a woman, all is fair.”
No one would have responded in such a cavalier manner if the victim had been female. The Countering Abuse Misinformation Project — CAMP – is a rapid-response initiative designed to stop abuse misinformation and misandry. For more information, contact info@saveservices.org .
Current Campaign:
All Women Victims, All Men Rapists?
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control released a report in December that has ignited a firestorm of controversy. The CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey gets highly creative with its definitions, claiming that if a woman drinks too much alcohol before having sex — even if she consents beforehand, or even if it’s all her idea – that’s rape!
The CDC calls it, “alcohol/drug facilitated penetration.” Based on this loopy logic, the CDC is now claiming 18% of American women have been raped during their lifetimes. Here’s what columnists are saying:
- Christina Hoff Sommers: How the CDC is Overstating Sexual Violence
- Typhon Blue: Manufacturing Victimhood, Marginalizing Victims
- Robert VerBruggen: Re: Sexual Assault and College
- Carey Roberts: Warning to Women: The Government Wants to Turn You into a Rape Victim
On January 4, SAVE sent a letter to the CDC detailing the many problems with its violence survey. But in its response, the CDC blew us off.
The Abuse Industry needs to stop the bogus and scary statistics. Overblown definitions mock the suffering and fear of real rape victims. Contact the CDC director, Dr. Thomas Frieden:

Facebook users’ reactions to Ms. Becker’s violence were chilling:

Gloria Burkett Ciecka: Mom and Housewife at My Family
“I laughed the attack was listed as “aggravated mayhem”. Think that kind of mayhem will be covered by an Allstate policy?”

“lol”
Nikki Mix
“His member was definitely not “in good hands”!!”
Liliana Vasquez-Duran: Top Commenter, Los Angeles, California
“Really aggrevated mayham yet rape and child molestation doesn’t get you life in prison. It’s no wonder James Brown call it a Man’s World.”
Stacey Walker
“We’ll she did call 911 after ha ha! Good he probably cheated on her. Based on the last name he sounds like some white guy that married a 3rd world bride figuring he would get a meek little servant wife….. WRONG! Thems the breaks when you don’t go American… you get what you pay for!”
Maria Romero
“Her husband probably deserved it..”
